I'm very new to spotting scopes and will be using it for birds n nature viewing only. I was a bit hesitant and confused due to overwhelming options of budget spotting scopes and their optical performance. After reading numerous review I finally decided to go for Barska, and it was a great decision. Optically it is excellent at 20mm and acceptable at 60mm. However the build quality is not very great. Finish around the objective lens is poor as u can see the threads and perhaps glue on it. Eyepiece is clear and zoom ring is quite hard but may become smoother over time. Focus ring is smooth and have a feeling of precision. Overall if u r not going to use it for extraordinary works, it is surprisingly good for casual viewing. Light weight. Portable and great optical quality Real life magnification: I'm not much into numbers. I measure 200 mtr by foot step to my car from my room window and easily can read the number plates in night street light. Bright light source in the dark background does show some purple fringes and degradation in the edges of light source which is more noticeable at 60mm and barely noticeable at 20mm. Tripod included is not very good, very short and limited usable, but overall it is ok since the prime concern in this package is the scope itself. Barska should make tripod optional as I'm sure a lot of people never gona use the one came with itRead full review

Scope comes with very good, sturdy case - impressive. 5 stars for it. Comparing with my binoculars 10x50 on 50 yards, binoculars are much better. On 100 yards scope is better but brightness and view area deserve 1 star only. Useless over 100 yards (actually usefull distance is 50 yards). Summarizing - get professional grade scope if you want to get satisfying results.

I have only used this scope once since I received it . However I had a good experience with it . I am very satisfied with the construction and the quality of the material it is made with . Setting it up for 100 yards was easy and stable after being adjusted . I did not use the try pod that came with the scope . But the quality appears to have the same quality manufacturing as the scope . It was a great buy for me . I am very satisfied with the spotting scope . It works great . I was hoping it would improve my aim . But it didn't LOL Great scope .
